Liverpool is a city in North West England, along the eastern side of the Mersey River Estuary.
Built across a ridge of hills rising up to a height of around 70 metres above sea-level at Everton Hill, the city's urban area runs directly into Bootle and Crosby in Sefton to the north, and Huyton and Prescot in Knowsley to the east. It faces Wallasey and Birkenhead across the River Mersey to the west.
In the late 19th century, Liverpool laid claim to being the "second Port of the Empire", handling more goods than any British city outside London. Liverpool also became a major industrial centre. However, during the 20th century it lost most of its manufacturing base and was in economic decline, it is still one of the poorest areas of Britain.
Among its inhabitants Liverpool is seen as a cultural centre, it is the birthplace of The Beatles and in 2008, Liverpool will hold the European Capital of Culture title.
In 2007, the city of Liverpoool celebrates its 800th anniversary.
